Proxmox bind mounts are a nightmare for user permissions (lemmy.world)

Hi, I need help to understand what I am doing wrong with my setup.

I am running a proxmox node (pve) where I have mounted my nfs storage (containing backups from my old server) on the host and assigning them to containers using pct set command.

On Host:I am setting the user permissions to the mounted folder so that the user from lxc can rw to it and the sub-folders(or atleast I thought it would be possible).

On Unpreviledged LXC:The mount is recognized and is accessible with the correct user permissions to rw

The docker container created inside the lxc is unable to read/write to this storage even though they are assigned to the correct user id 1000. The docker setup is logging errors and won't start up.

Appreciate the help!

Sage advice.

I went through the same thing and eventually reached the conclusion that a VM really is the best method. I did get a working LXC Docker setup going, but I could just not get it to be as stable as a VM long-term.
